   This may be down to problems I have with regard to translation. Are you saying that this cruelty and abuse is because of the financial crisis? IF you are I beg to differ.
   Animal cruelty and abuse has and continues to be shameful and extremely damaging to this country. It is not a new phenomenon and does not have its roots in financial crisis but in ignorance which has never been tackled.

   Whilst abandonment and the dumping of sick and elderly animals has increased dramatically because of financial difficulties....both of these issues could be helped tremendously by recognition and action from Greek vets the authorities and the Government. Discounted prices and free services for the animals of people struggling with poverty would go a long way.
   In Crete we have had desperate appeals from elderly people who can no longer look after themselves let alone their animals. Out of love for a dog an old man felt he had to part with his companion because he would shortly not have a roof over his head. Another report and appeal for help came from a Greek pensioner who has been feeding stray cats - he too is suffering from financial difficulties, many of the cats he has maintained are ill - the cost of veterinary help for them is urgent and extremely expensive. The only place which he can turn to for help is an animal Charity already under enormous pressure from both increased numbers of desperate animals and at the same time decreasing funds.

      Dear Molly Mason

      in fact, you got the article wrong, it says that cruelty to animals (the type that dog had endured, at least), was NOT due to the financial crisis, but due to the crisis in our values as a society and individuals. Besides that, I wanted also to launch an idea for every animal welfare association in any part of Greece: I believe that it would be a good idea to contact all the restaurants/tavernas etc. of their areas and agree with them to collect the leftover food, that would otherwise be thrown away and use it to feed the strays in their care, be those still in the streets or already in shelters.This would reduce the expense for dry food, allow the volunteers to help far more strays and would prevent food from being wasted, which is a sin...What do you think?
